5 LONG CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 LONG CLOSE sales from November 2005 and May 2010 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the November 2005 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 5 LONG CLOSE be worth now?

5 LONG CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £356,008.

This is based on house price inflation of 58.2%, between May 2010 and June 2025, for detached houses, in the Dorset local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 58.2% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 LONG CLOSE of £225,000 on 27th May 2010. For the value to have increased from £225,000 to £356,008 over the fourteen years and eleven months to June 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 LONG CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Dorset local authority area.
• The May 2010 sale price of £225,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of 5 LONG CLOSE has not materially changed since May 2010.
